C. Howard Rieling has a way of writing that makes people ask his wife if she’s safe being married to him. Two words that have been used to describe him are “talented…and sick.” Retribution fiction is what he calls his genre, and Rieling draws inspiration for his writing from a childhood of traumatic altercations as an inner-city kid living in Jersey City, New Jersey. Unable to escape bullying and beatings, Rieling would imagine himself to be imbued with powers like his comic-book heroes. His stories are rich in recompense and travel down dark roads, employ supernatural forces, and dish out overflowing portions of whoop-ass against carefully crafted villains.

Many years ago, I got a root beer at the cafeteria at work. Took a sip and let's say, it wasn't root beer. Some a****** actually peed in the bottle and closed it up. A trip to the ER and although grossed out, I was okay. This was a great question as I think about new ideas for my Paranormal Payback series. To date, I have "gotten even" with quite a few people that made my childhood rough. Perhaps it's time to include this episode in a story! (less)

Wow…Number Seven!

by C. Howard Rieling

Here it is. Number seven. A collection of short stories written over the years, usually while writing a novel or three. From high school on, I’ve loved writing. Never did I think I’d write novels. After all, writing a three-page short story for Creative Writing class, or a poem to add to my journal, is a world away from writing a full book. But somehow, I did it.
